TrustRadius Insights
	EZ Texting	Textmagic
Highlights	Research Team Insight Published May 1, 2020 EZ Texting and TextMagic are both software designed to help businesses create and manage text marketing campaigns. EZ Texting is a mobile marketing software specialized for SMS marketing, whereas TextMagic is a communications platform built for highly customizable automated SMS messaging. Both software options are more popular with small businesses, though EZ Texting is used by mid-sized and larger enterprises as well. Features EZ Texting and TextMagic both include SMS marketing features, but they also have a few standout features that set them apart from each other. EZ Texting specializes in marketing features, including a text-to-landline feature that allows SMS marketing campaigns to reach landline phones. This can be important depending on the demographic of a campaign, as access to landlines opens up certain groups to marketing they may not receive otherwise. EZ Texting also includes native integrations with popular marketing software like MailChimp and Constant Contact, as well as analytics tools that help track user engagement. A wide variety of integrations allows businesses to easily pass data from one software to another. TextMagic allows users to send texts online using many operating systems and includes an API to help businesses integrate TextMagic with existing systems. TextMagic also converts emails to text, allowing businesses to run simultaneous email and SMS campaigns with a single system. Lastly, in addition to a flexible API, TextMagic also includes integrations through Zapier, which allows less technical staff to integrate other software with TextMagic without writing code. Limitations Though EZ Texting and TextMagic both include automated SMS features, they also have a few limitations that are important to consider. EZ Texting includes some out of the box integrations but isn’t as flexible as TextMagic can be with its flexible API. TextMagic also includes integrations through Zapier, so EZ Texting is only superior on integrations for businesses that don’t want to work with an API or Zapier. EZ Texting also can’t manage both email campaigns and SMS campaigns at once, so if your organization wants to run both through a single application, TextMagic may be preferred. TextMagic can handle both emails and SMS messaging, but doesn’t have any support for text-to-landline. This can be a problem for organizations with a trusted landline number or who are targeting landline-using demographics. Additionally, while TextMagic includes integrations through Zapier and provides an API for custom integrations, its native integrations are limited. Pricing EZ Texting offers a Free 14-day trial that businesses can use before committing to a purchase. The Plus pricing tier is priced at $39.00 per month and includes additional free messages and custom keywords. The Select Tier and Elite tier similarly add more free texts and custom keywords at $75.00 per month and $119.00 per month respectively. TextMagic offers a pay as you go model that prices texts depending on where they are being sent. For example, texts to United States phones start at $0.04 per text. Total costs depend on number of texts and who they are sent to.

User Testimonials
	EZ Texting	Textmagic
Likelihood to Recommend	It is great to reach people who have given you their phone numbers. You can connect with leads and customers, strengthening rapport and staying in touch with them. They work well with Facebook ads through the Zapier connection, allowing you to follow up with prospects. However, if a business cannot access its leads' phone numbers, the tool will not be of much use. I know of a senior care company that was in business for years but relied strongly on email marketing. They did not ask for their leads' phone numbers and, therefore, did not find EZ Texting useful. That is expected from a company that does not ask prospects for their phone numbers. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	TextMagic was the perfect choice for what we wanted to do, which was sending a COVID screening questionnaire on a daily basis to our staff. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Easy to use web interface. The ability to set up our main business phone to receive texts is fantastic. There are an abundance of features we haven't even explored yet but look forward to doing so! The mobile app is great alternative when a desktop or laptop isn't available. Incentivized SR Shaun Rogers Marketing Director Read full review	Easy to use Reminders when our balance is low, we never have to worry about going to send a text and not having enough credits Multiple users are able to work off of the same account Detailed records kept of each text conversation Incentivized Courtney Kuzmich Office Manager Read full review
Cons	Drafts don't save well, seemed like I kept having to redo the same text because a draft wouldn't save. I want to be able to click and update users quickly, but there were too many steps to add/remove people from lists. The app didn't work if I used google SSO - i couldn't ever get signed in. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Connection between other services ERP, CRM and slack. Textmagic is a tool for kids who want to SMS chat. The possibility to change the SMS provider to Twilio or others. It is not legal to forbid that but they find a way to bypass that. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	We're excited about EZ Texting and what it does for us. We want to get more into automation with campaigns dealing directly with web sales so a more robust solution will likely leave EZ Texting as our event activation partner and only be used during select times of the year. Incentivized Christopher Payne Digital Sales Manager Read full review	I am very happy with how TextMagic is working. I don't see a reason to spend time searching for another solution when this works great at a good price. Customers have shown a good response to the text messages we have send. Very small percentage unsubscribed (but that was automated/easy). Incentivized SS Suzanne Stafford Principal Read full review
Usability	I think it is straightforward to use. UX is always challenging, and the platform does an excellent job of making it easy enough to use. However, it's not 100% intuitive and takes just a bit of figuring out, so I gave it an 8 / 10. It's easy enough as is, but of course, it could always be better. Incentivized JB Jonathan Bochese CEO Read full review	It has been very easy to use TextMagic to set up. The calculator showing character count which relates to cost is easy to see and adjust. The scheduling portion is also easy to set up and edit if needed. You can see history to copy wording if you need to. I have suggested to other friends that do not have a text service. Incentivized SS Suzanne Stafford Principal Read full review
Reliability and Availability	We have never needed to use the system and it be unavailable. They seem to schedule their server maintenance perfectly (at least for us!). Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Performance	It works pretty well but sometimes things don't work the way you would assume, IE marking messages as read is not as intuitive Incentivized Stacy Medema Marketing + Creative Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	EZ Texting "gets it"! When I have had something I needed customer service to help me with, they returned my emails and calls promptly. I have a smaller business and they came through as if I was a huge corporate entity. They really care about all sizes of customers! Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Implementation Rating	allow plenty of time for integration - time is definitely a factor. We had to wait about a week before the product was completely usable. Customer support was very helpful. though. Very much worth the wait, I think. Allow plenty of time for integration. Lots and lots of time needed. Incentivized Wendy Royston Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	We have never considered or looked into any other system. We were very much just trying to fix a gap in our internal system as quickly and easily as possible. EZ Text was one of the first options that came up. We did a free trial, and it seemed easy (EZ) enough to use and fair in price, so we moved forward. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	TextMagic is a full-featured business SMS platform that can help you grow your business by sending SMS text messages to customers, employees, and vendors.

Scalability	We haven't really utilized it for this purpose but it does seem like there are a lot of great options you can utilize. Incentivized Stacy Medema Marketing + Creative Manager Read full review	No answers on this topic
Return on Investment	Customers, as well as potential customers, do not seem to have any issue, providing their phone numbers for text messages as opposed to receiving countless emails. Upselling items has improved considerably due to our ability to notify customers of new products and specials that we are offering in the store. Incentivized LG Linda Glenny Owner Read full review	It's just a small part of our communications with employees but they appreciate it very much! It is a very cost effective communications tool. There is no negative impact. I just need to remember to update the contact lists with any employee changes. Incentivized Alissa Hamilton Human Resources Manager Read full review
